Legislation
The Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000 places a number of legal requirements upon NHS organisations. Race for Health supports the implementation of these requirements by publishing advice on good practice.
The Act requires NHS organisations to:
- Produce and publish an effective and comprehensive Race Equality Scheme.
- Collect, analyse and publish workforce data and ethnicity relating to selection, access to training, career progression, grievances and disciplinaries.
- Undertake Race Equality Impact Assessments on its activities and to publish the results and related activities.
